The public appeared divided about the controversy. A CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll taken over the weekend found 39 percent of Americans believe the leak of Plame's name was illegal, another 39 percent believed it was unethical but not illegal and the remainder saw nothing wrong or were not sure.OK.
This graf sez that the public appears divided.
Then it says that 78 percent of Americans think that the leak was unethical.
78%.
This is a divided public?
As if confusion about the law is really the important part of this poll. Most Americans are not lawyers, thank goodness. But all of them have an internal ethical barometer. And many of them remember Bush's fake-ass bullshit about "restoring honor and dignity to the White House."
Fuck the AP.
